Back to the Old West in Call of Juarez: The Gunslinger

Call of Juarez: The Cartel controversially took Techland's Western into modern times. It also brought the decent franchise to its knees with a painfully low Metacritic score of 47. That's why it's surprising to hear Ubisoft is pulling the shooter up off the mat. Call of Juarez: The Gunslinger will return to the old West in 2013.

Techland is once again at the helm and says Gunslinger will put players in the shoes of a bounty hunter in pursuit of the likes of Billy the Kid, Jesse James, and... Pat Garrett? I'm no old West expert, but I thought Garrett was a lawman. Anyhoo, a new skill system is also being added to the franchise, giving players the opportunity to unlock new abilities. Check the trailer:

The Cartel threw Call of Juarez into reverse, but I enjoyed Bound in Blood. Will you be giving the franchise another chance with The Gunslinger?
